WOAT25 Rap Album List

Belize made his list of the Worst 25 rap albums of all time (eg the WOAT25), keeping the standard of 1 album per artist. Belize asked me to make a list.

So I wasted 30 minutes of my life & made my own WOAT25 list, with the following rules/guidelines:
1 1 album per artist.

2 exclude albums that don't have rap vocals on the majority of the beats. In other words, I'm excluding instrumental rap, & albums with many singing vocals made by Artists that are usually rapping on their other albums (eg Gnarls Barkley - I actually like their album, I'm just using it as an example as an singing album made by rappers).

3 did the list very quickly. My thought is it's not worth time over-analyzing a list of albums that suck & have long since been exiled to the Recycle Bin for permanent ethering.

4 These albums aren't worth explaining WHY they suck individually. Check the RYM links for details, on a few of these I have written a review. If I don't have a review, check the other RYMers' review who say the album suck, their reasons are likely to be similar to mine.

5 I put more emphasis on beats then rap vocals & subject matter. Most of these albums have annoying beats. The rapping usually sucks also, but for some albums may even be OK.

6 The list is organized by tiers of albums which received 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 out of 5 stars on my RYM site.

7 Historically I didn't listen to that much music. Usually I'd only check for an album if I heard a single that I really liked, or a friend recommended it. Thus, there are probably many horrible albums out there I never heard of that are "more worthy" & "more worse" for inclusion in this list. Even if I could live 1 million years, I would have no desire to "seek out" these albums to get a better "comprehensive WOAT list".
